Monday Morning, July 10, 1S65.
Hon. ALFRED HOOZB.-Thia old gentle?
man, who so long held the position of
postmaster here. Is now living on rations
furnished by the Government. He was
first appointed postmaster by Gen. Jack
eon, and re-appointed by every succeeding
President until the fatal act of secession.
He never sent in his resignation, but bia
of?co waa taken possession of by the Rebel
Government, and in deference to the wishes
*x' of the citizens and his friends generally, he
continued to serve up to the evacuation of
the city. He is in his ninety fifth year.
We oopy the preceding paragraph from
the letter of a Charleston correspondent in
the New York Herald. That recklessness
of assertion which so markedly distin?
guishes all the writers for this journal,
wa? never more strikingly displayed than
in some of the alleged (acts in the above
paragraph. We beg to correct, while we
utterly deny, the assertion that Mr. Huger
has ?ever received, or is receiving, ra?
tions, or any other alms, from the United
States, or any*other charities. He is na
doubt, like most of our people, greatly
reduced in resources and straightened iu
the means of life; but he is not the man to
seek for or to accept charity, while his
mind and body retain any of their accus
tomed vigor, and, hardly, should these
these fail; provided his soul shall retain its
consciousness. He will prefer to struggle
on, with all the burdens, of family-all thc
precious cares of wife and children
struggle on feebly, perhaps, but still hope?
fully, and with perfect faith in God-with
out appealing to any power or entreating
succor at any hand. The old man may ht
feeble, but the ancient spirit of his }o"th
and family still survives in his bosom, anc
his pride is sustained by energies which
do not depend upon mere bone and mus
cle. We correct another error in UK
statement of this correspondent. Mr
Huger ia not in his ninety-fifth year. T<
reach his real age, you must deduct som*
twenty years from this number. He it
now in his seventy seventh year-a nobh
and venerable gentleman, etill erect, an
with his fine face glowing and his word
full of spirit freely flowing, with ever'
emotion of pride and thought, feeling am
character, as warm and vigorous as whet
ba stood erect in his youthful prime. W
had ttie honor to know Mr. Huger, nearl;
forty yearB ago, when we both stood
longo intervallo-in the ranks of the Uuiot
party? by which wo both suffered lossei
We have known him ever since as a coi
eistent Union man-opposed to the peri
Ijng, by any canee of action, ofthat Unio
for which his fathers bled. He belonged
as did all his ancestors, to the family ere"
of Washington. He was a Federalis
when that word had a very different sig
n\? cation from thc present. Then it wi
the understood intermediate between th
monarchy and the democracy, regardin
- equally the "Divine rights" of the oue an
the other, as alike dangerous to tl
liberties of the people. Times ha\
changed, and old definitions change wit
them. The ancient landmarks are a
gone, and the ?rand but too subtle princ
pies which conceived a plan by which 8
tendencies to centralism-the sole secrete
danger to all confederacies-might be.pr
vented, are now all obliterated. Mr. Hug<
was born before the Constitution of tl
United States. He has survived it. T\
do not envy him the reflections of his o
age, when he looks back upon the politic
memories of his youth. We are happy
report to his old friends elsewhere, thi
though sore, wounded and suffering, f
spirit is still unbroken, his mind is st
firm and elastic, his conversation st
liquid, copious, flowing and animated;
is still the old man eloquent, when warm
and excited by a re-survey of those da;
which he and we shall never know aga!
We make this record to-day, that t
pride of his children may not, in futu
day a, be outraged by a record which 1
-own pride naturally revolts to see or he

The appointment of Hon. Benjamin
Perry as Provisional Governor of t

that he will accept the statfoD, and p

Th? Kabel Gen. Buckner's Farewell
Address.
HEADQUARTERS, BuCK.NKRS CoRPS,
Shreveport.-La.. June 8, 1865.
SOLDIERS: The atroegle for independence !
has 'ceased. As soldiers of the TJonfede i
rate States-an army defending the rights
of your country-yon Won the respect of
your enemies and the admiration of the
civilized woijd. The power which you
could not resist has crushed the hopes
which you had cherished, and compelled,
by force of arms, obedience to the nui bu?
ri tv of the United States. You have obli?
gated yourselves to abstain from farther
acts of hostility, aud are permitted to re*
turn to your homes to follow your peace^
fol avocations without molestation of your
persons. The < same fidelity which Jou
displayed upon the battle fields should be
.bown in the new engagements into which
you have voluntarily eutered. Go peace?
ably to your homes, cultivate friendly
relations with all, abstain from all hostile
acts, and discountenance every attempt at
disorder. You will have much to forgive
and much to endure; but as courage has
been your characteristic on the field, let
the spirit of magnanimity and fortitude
guide your actions in private life. When
the passiobs of the hour shall have Sub?
sided, a returning sense of justice will
compel even the people whom we have so
long resisted to concede that justice must
have' been the basia of the cause which
inspired so many acts of heroism and gave
rise to the api r it of self sacrifice and devo
tion which you have so olten displaj-ed.
To the Missouri troops of my corps, my
commendations are especially due for the
orderly deportment and firm discipline
which they have shown in the most trying
nergencies. Soldiers, our official rela?
yons are now severed. You will carry
with you, in your homes or into exile, my
warmest wishns for your prosperity and
happiness. '
S. B. BUCKNER, Lieut. Gen.
The Richmond Republican, of Thursday,
say*: "Gen. R. E. Lee and family left the
city last evening for Carterville, Cumber
land County, near which place they will
occupy, for the summer, a cottago on a
small farm. A large number of farms, iu
different parts of Virginia, have been
offered as presents to Gen. Lee, but he has
in every case declined to accept them.
Dur..ig this week, a citizen o? Richmond
proffered him one of the finest farms in
Orange County, which another offered to
stock."
At a receut election in Australia, the
naturalized Chinamen voted for the first
time. Being thoroughly free from politi?
cal opinions or prejudices, thirty-three of
them were "engaged at eight shillings per
head, and tutored to say "Yea" to every
question which might bo put to them in
the polliug booth. One of thearst ques?
tions put was. "Have you voted before at
this election?" Answer, "Yes," and forth?
with they were unceremoniously bundled
out of the booth.
A servant girl out West recently tried
whiskey to kill rats. She made it Bweet
with sugar, crumbled in bread, and set
the dish in the cellar. A few hours after,
she went down and found several rats
gloriously "fuddled," engaged in throwiog
potato parings, and hauling one another
up to drink. These were readily disposed
of; those not killed left the premises im
mediately, undoubtedly suffering from a
severe headache. .
The friends of Mitchel are said to be
stirring themselves with a view to secure
his immediate trial, but the Government
will take its own time about the matter.
John, meanwhile, should not complain, as
he said a day or two before his arrest, in
speaking of "pardon," that he did not
''deal in the article."
A steamer has succeeded in passing
through the famous Dutch Gap Canal.
The Silas C. Pierce, a vessel of forty-three
feet beam, performed that feat last Sun?

There is a child "living in Manchester,
Va., with its parents, only two years old,
and weighing 200 pounds, more than
either of the parents, by some fifty pounds.

HEAT.-Hot still-hot as blazed And nb
prospect of relief in the atmosphere. No
philanthropic cloud interposes its raven
wings between us and the son, who seems
in as great a passion as when his son, Phte
eton, played old Harry with his coursers,
and for a time upset his Pbseton. On Sa?
turday, at ? in the morning, the thermome?
ter was at u6 degrees; the day before, at
3 p. m.. it reached 102, and this in ele
vated situations, in a cool passage of a
cool house, with lofty ceilings.
SMALL CHANGE.-There is a terrible de?
ficiency of smalt change in our commu?
nity, which, it seems, might be supplied
through the agency of the United Buttes
commandant at this. post. A mere sug?
gestion that the pay of soldiers should be
made partly in change bills, would contri?
bute equally to their wants and to the
needs of the community. We trust that
this hint will be well received m the pro?
per quarters, and duly acted Opon.
SERVANTS ANO SERVICE.-We hear almost
hourly complaints, on the part of the late
owners and employers, of the sudden
abandonment, by their servants, of their
employments and the household. The
idea of freedom seems to be one of a beau?
tiful caprice; and the right of doing what
one pleases, the perfection of human
rights. White and black very equally
seem disposed to act on tins persuasion,
and it is confessedly a very grateful thing
to exercise such a privilege wheo the
humor is on us. Let the world slide, says
Tistol. ?Sessa. But one thing should be
said, aud in saying it we borrow a leaf
equally from the Northern and European
books. No citizen, in either region, hires
a servant, unless the party brings a pro?
per discbarge from a previous employer.
The citizen here, especially, owes it to
himself, if not to his neighbor, to make
thia requisition. Ho may otherwise be
hiring a thief as well as an idler; and the
servant who leaves the cook pot of one em?
ployer to pass into tho kitchen of another,
will abandon the latter in like manner,
and probably carry off the cutlets with
him. We are told that we may shortly
expect large emigration of Germans to
our State-a thrifty, sober, useful and
honest people; and these will afford an
opportunity of choice to the employer,
which may save him -much as well in
temper as in steaks.

W? HER?AS iu many cases colored
vv people are declining to make the<
best contracts for labor that can be offered
them, and many, after making such con
tracts, are not-keeping them, or are leav?
ing their places ? henever they like:
It is hereby ordered that those refusing
to make fair contract?, or leaving their
places without cousent of military com?
manders or their employers, to the detri?
ment of tho crops, shad be put to hard
labor by the military authorities. All
desiring to visit the troops, or to visit Co?
lumbia, Orangeburg or Fort Motte, will
obtain a written pass from their employ
ers, without -vhich pass they will be at
once arrested; if they come to enter com?
plaints, they will be set right, if such
complaints prove true; or punished for
making groundless complaints.

THE Brevet Brigadier-General Com?
manding takes this occasion to com?
pliment the colored people of Columbia
and vicinity upon the very orderly, well
arranged and patriotic manner of the late

ability to manage for yourselves that wili
falsify the predictions of your enemies,
and justify the confidence of your friends.
Your destiny is in your own hand; what
you make yourselves worthy of will surely
be conceded to you. Remember that,
under the new order of things, you and
your employers arc in the same boat. Yo
are both interested in making thc voyag
a safe ard profitable one; be, therefore,
industrious, steady, honest and economical.
